Robert Axelrod is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Michigan. A MacArthur Prize Fellow, he is a leading expert on game theory, artificial intelligence, evolutionary biology, mathematical modeling, and complexity theory. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Updated for the first time, the classic book on why cooperation is not only natural but also the best survival strategy The Evolution of Cooperation addresses a simple yet age-old question: If living things evolve through competition, how can cooperation ever emerge? Despite the abundant evidence of cooperation all around us, there existed no purely naturalistic answer to this question until 1979, when Robert Axelrod famously ran a computer tournament featuring a standard game-theory exercise called The Prisoner's Dilemma. To everyone's surprise, the program that won the tournament, named Tit for Tat, was not only the simplest but the most "cooperative" entrant. This unexpected victory proved that cooperation--one might even say altruism--is mathematically possible and therefore needs no hidden hand or divine agent to create and sustain it. A great roadblock to the understanding of all sorts of behavior was at last removed. The updated edition includes an extensive new chapter on cooperation in cancer cells and among terrorist organizations. "This book, if read, grasped and applied, could have a profound effect." ( Wall Street Journal ) "A fascinating, provocative, and important book." (Douglas R. Hofstadter, author of Godel, Escher, Bach )
这本书是小众读物,没读过博弈论的人还真难看懂;上海人民出版社的第一版甚至只有5000本。我在大学有幸买了一本,一直看不懂,搁置书架多年。 有天我无意翻阅此书,发觉本书言简意赅,深刻不乏幽默,发人深醒。 人为什么会拒绝如狮虎般独自行走,而选择群居合作呢?这是个很...
评分“一个政治科学家能修改来自计算机科学的工具并因此有贡献于进化生物学,直到今日我仍为此感到高兴。而且居然是性起源的问题!” 这句话出自本书的续作《合作的复杂性》──总之,Axelrod的这两本书,涉及了多个学科的知识,可以编程来玩,而且还科学地推导出一个善的结论,这...
评分什么样的合作策略是最优策略?是最善良的策略,以德抱怨?还是最聪明的策略,机关算尽?或者干脆拒绝合作,永远的背叛? 计算机模拟的实验结果的胜出策略确是“一报还一报”,也就是所谓的人不犯我,我不犯人,人若犯我,我必犯人,在尝试了各种各样复杂聪明的策略后,计算机模...

评分这本不到200页的小书很像作者的博士学位论文,因为各个章节的编排很有我写的博士论文的样子——不是很系统,是某一个idea在各个领域的应用和延伸思考。这个idea就是:“一报还一报”(英文名Tit for Tat)这样的具有“善良性”、“可激怒性”、“宽容性”、“清晰性”的策...
